Phidgets: What's the verdict? Thinking of dumping Epic

[Bob Reed]

Bob-

Hi. I would be communicating directly with the phidgets card using the VB6 API calls and our 737 systems software. As long as I can do that, and that's supported, I'd be ok.

Thanks,
Matt

Yes. Using your own code is supported and like I said I liked Phidgets with PM's over head with nothing in between. It Was fast and responsive. I was referring to FS2 Phidgets which is no longer supported. It still works just no more support or upgrades.

I use Phidgets Led-64 and FS2phidgets software. At this time I have about 14 leds in use. REALLY like the ability to create logic and add my own LED functions from FSUIPC with FS2phidgets. So far I have not had any major latency problems with my setup. Maybe when I add more functions I will. Right now I am keeping it.
Some poeple have had Ghosting problems with the LED-64.
I have not been able to duplicate this.

My setup: P4-3.4ghz,1g ram,WXPsp2,FS9sp2,ULTterr,Led-64,Bu0836,FSUIPC-fs9,x800gt,dual hd 2go

I would like to find other software that will talk to the led-64 Just to have some options in case of ????. If anybody has something I am definately interested.

Regards to all

I used the led64 boards to power all the enunciators on the 737 overhead. I had no ghosting issues and I was somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 functions. I thought it worked great!
